Chapter 293 - 294 Traitor
“I did… I called,” Mistress Ruoshuo answered.
“Hmph, a bunch of self-righteous outsiders, actually scorning us Yin Spirit Necromancers. Once our other clansmen arrive, I want to see how they’ll leave this place!” Song Xunshan said viciously.
Since people from the other stockades would be coming, all he needed to do was to keep these people trapped and stalled.
Pear Blossom Gully was not home to just a few Yin Spirit Necromancers, and they weren’t the strongest ones in Pear Blossom Gully, either.
It didn’t matter if he couldn’t defeat these few, once reinforcements arrived, they would have nowhere to be buried!
Song Xunshan began to set up the Corpse Ghost Array, and one could see that the blood runes previously on his palm now emerged upon the ground.
The blood runes were enormous, like a terrifying altar. The Corpse Ghosts standing within the blood rune formation were shrouded in a dreadful layer of blood light curses, and these curses rendered them immune to the Ice Morning White Dragon’s frost spells.
Frost effects were now useless against them, so the Ice Morning White Dragon began to summon Star Fall, delivering catastrophic blows to these Corpse Ghosts.
The attackers with blood light curses had bodies as sturdy as iron. While the Azure Dragon Mystics of the Ice Morning White Dragon could cover a wide range, the number of Corpse Ghosts it could kill was very limited.
After all, those Corpse Ghosts were crawling out from the graves endlessly. If they weren’t killed quickly enough, they would still swarm around.
“Their resistance has strengthened,” Li Xinghua said.
“If ice won’t work, use fire. Let me do it,” Nan Yuso said, stepping in front of Zhu Minglang.
With slender fingertips, Nan Yuso lightly touched the air and a sphere of flames suddenly swept across the area she touched, creating a terrifying explosive force!
At the epicenter of the fiery explosion, the Fire Kilin Dragon stood tall and proud, emerging upon the scorching flames, its dancing Fire Scales making this ancient Dragon Beast look even more majestic and divine!
The Dragons of Nan Yuso, they all seemed to be of Ancestral Dragon lineage.
Zhu Minglang had witnessed the power of this Fire Kilin; it virtually ignored the hordes of Shadow Funeral Dragons!
The Fire Kilin Dragon was muscular with a robust body, and its special Kirin head was covered in flame-like whiskers that fluttered without wind.
Where it stepped, scorch marks would appear, and where it lingered, fierce flames would ignite. At this moment, the Fire Kilin Dragon stood ahead of the Ice Morning White Dragon, its nostrils exhaling scalding flames that expanded outwards like a vortex!
Burning Power!
The thick-skinned Corpse Ghosts had just endured the torture of freezing cold, and now they were suddenly hit by fiery blasts; no amount of resistance would leave them undamaged!
Piles upon piles of Corpse Ghosts were burned so thoroughly that not even their ashes remained, and even those Corpse Ghosts that had just begun to crawl out from their graves outside of Song Xunshan’s formation were not spared!
“It seems you’re not fond of earth burials, so enjoy a cremation instead!” Nan Yuso said with an alluring smile.
The Fire Kilin Dragon lifted its forelimbs, then stomped down fiercely upon the mountainous terrain.
“Boom!!!!!”
The ground split open thunderously, and scaldingly hot fiery magma spewed from the area where the Fire Kilin Dragon trampled, irrigating the densely-packed graveyard within the forest.
It seemed the graves contained not just one Corpse Ghost, but many age-old Corpse Ghosts were also slowly being awakened.
Nan Yuso had noticed this earlier.
It was perfect to burn the graveyard in one go, preventing an endless supply of Corpse Ghosts!
Song Xunshan saw this scene, and his heart was bleeding!
Not only were so many of his controllable Corpse Ghosts burned to death, but also those stored in the graves were all wiped out.
What a venomous woman!
“What’s going on, where are the people from the Third and Fourth Stockades??” Song Xunshan said, somewhat infuriated.
They didn’t act in the stockades for a reason; they wanted to wait for the Yin Spirit Necromancers from the other stockades to arrive, as they had indeed underestimated the strength of this group of people.
“Probably still on the way… probably…” Mistress Ruoshuo said quietly.
“What do you mean probably, did you notify them or not!” Song Xunshan shouted angrily.
“I… I…” The Yin Spirit Necromancer girl began to stammer nervously.
“Great, you’d actually help these outsiders. I wondered why you didn’t lead them to the demon’s lair and even lied about remembering the wrong location. I see, you wretched girl are thinking of betraying us!” Song Xunshan grabbed the Yin Spirit Necromancer girl’s neck and hissed.
When they returned to the First Village, Song Xunshan had instructed Mistress Ruoshuo to notify the people from the other stockades.
These people could not be left alive; they had to be dealt with promptly.
Calculating the time, if the Yin Spirit Necromancers from the other stockades had received the message and immediately rushed over, this group of people would have already turned into a pile of rotten bones. How could they still stand before him, flaunting their might!
“You and your grandmother are the same, hopelessly useless beings! We shouldn’t have been softhearted in the first place, leaving you, this worthless calamity, behind!” Song Xunshan barked with a ferocious expression.
The Yin Spirit Necromancer girl couldn’t speak a word; her throat was gripped tightly, and her face had turned painfully red!
Li Xinghua witnessed this scene and anxiously said to Zhu Minglang, “Young Master, save that girl.”
Many of these Yin Spirit Necromancers must have harmed many people. With such a large Pear Blossom Gully, where would so many Corpse Ghosts come from? It’s likely that the Yin Spirit Necromancers of Pear Blossom Gully often selected suitable victims to expand their army of Corpse Ghosts and even used Mourning Dragons to cover up their crimes.
But this girl didn’t seem to be part of their group.
“She meant well, she kept persuading us to leave,” Li Xinghua continued.
“Don’t worry, she will be fine,” Zhu Minglang said, a smile appearing on his face.
Li Xinghua saw Zhu Minglang’s expression, then realized that the Sword Spirit Dragon had never appeared, even though Zhu Minglang had already summoned it…
“Dad, be careful, there’s a Flying Sword beside that guy!” At this moment, Song Luo suddenly remembered something and hurriedly warned from afar.
Back then, Zhu Minglang’s swordmanship obliterated hundreds of his Bat Wing Sorcery Dragons. Song Luo had endured great pain and torment to barely prevent this group from seeing through the ruse!
Those Bat Wing Sorcery Dragons, he had raised them with such hard work!!
Hearing the warning, Song Xunshan turned his head and saw a fierce sword light streak past!
The Sharp Sword stabbed directly towards his back, and even after hearing Song Luo’s shout, Song Xunshan was too late to react.
Blood seeped from his clothes, and Song Xunshan felt suddenly unable to exert any strength. He was about to suffocate the girl in front of him, but he found himself gasping for air even more.
Controlling those Corpse Ghosts, Song Xunshan had already found it somewhat strenuous to deal with the Ice Morning White Dragon and the Fire Kilin Dragon.
Thus he had never noticed that the Sword God had stealthily made his way behind him…
